About The Worcester Chamber of Commerce
The Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce represents thousands of members through public policy advocacy and economic development initiatives that create balanced regional growth. The Chamber delivers valuable programming, support services, and growth opportunities to our membership.

The Chamber's roots trace back to December 1873 when a group of prominent businessmen established the Worcester Business Exchange. It was the state's first business organization. In February 1875, the state officially recognized the organization, which was renamed the Worcester Board of Trade. In 1913, the organization merged with the Merchant's Association to become the Chamber of Commerce.
